Refill Scheme:

Also, don't forget that we have several Refill points in the town! Refill is an award-winning campaign that aims to disrupt the idea that it's ok to buy bottled water. It encourages people to use reusable bottles and fill them up at designated stations when they're out and about. Local businesses that have generously signed up to the scheme are:

Chip N Ern Ale House

The Myrtle Grove, Wetherspoons

Suzie's Tea Room

Costa Coffee

Martinez Bingley Wine Shop and Wine Bar

The above establishments will happily fill up your water bottle with drinking water. Nifty, eh? And well worth supporting. Just look out for the stickers in their window and download their app - it gives you information about the 14,000 refill stations nationally to allow you always to get fresh water on the go!
